  • Title: Sonographic appearance of branchial cysts.
    Author: Reynolds JH, Wolinski AP.
    Journal: Clin Radiol; 1993 Aug; 48(2):109-10. PubMed ID: 8004887.
    Abstract:
    Branchial cysts are developmental anomalies arising from remnants of the foetal branchial apparatus. Two patients in whom the presence of a branchial cyst was confirmed at surgery had undergone pre-operative neck ultrasound examination. In each case the cysts showed a characteristic uniform low echogenicity. Recognition of this appearance allows prompt and appropriate further investigation and treatment.
